About this tool

PDF Password sets or removes an open password for safer sharing.

An open password helps if a file leaks, but emailing the password with the file defeats it. Send the secret on another channel and rotate it after the share ends.

Tip — Send the password on a different channel than the file itself.

Forgot the password?

There is no recovery. Store it in a password manager when you set it.

Open password vs edit restrictions?

This tool focuses on open passwords; print/edit permission flags may be separate.
